the president might find out that only few feet off the website you can do that you have to decide that they can screen for really long time. there is actually be several years ago at the infancy of the one on this movement when some kid ahead dvd off the top three just overflow website. he did it against the church of scientology and he actually turned around they went after him and he served the year in prison for clicking a bargain that i took down scientology dot dot church i know what the there are websites call of ms and other related this incident is another one happy right now in the eastern district court on for three eastern history reaching apatow court on just down the road we're on a handful of elected activists on comprehensive what you got canteen against a bunch of anti censorship websites also on in retaliation for the soul kind of step with that broke out after which the greeks began releasing all sorts of confidential information back in twenty ten so that does happen and then he'll break now. that's happening right now that i start earlier and earlier

this month i believe around a week ago on our fellow was sentenced to two years' probation and ordered to pay hundred and eighty three thousand dollars fine and thirty three thousand dollars restitution to koch industries show that the corporation run by the insurance co for taking down one of their websites momentarily within the top fifty years ago. now the challenge when greenwald who is the journalist that was working with veterans and all those ns family and is reportedly working with the founder of e bay which is the parent company of paypal on a new media venture beyond so i went every couple of weeks. that's me i didn't encounter wrote his name is pierre own mini are heat treated it whenever you think and act with the league's tactics we know more about our world through their journal and then donate the empty paypal. the man but this certain altercation considering paypal was part of the block and then expanded to start with feelings of those fines on so i wanna read and other sweet that said this transparency

organization responded by saying the block it has cost with the league's tens of millions. we announced successful changes in policy and right after velocity so what do you make the business agreement and work for me on the paypal payment saying this mainly to update these ones are not. it is a bit slack given us human is a lot of players involved in this relation come down to disappear says or what you hear in the belief that there's a lot of bulky telling you there. obviously the massive taxes on corporations. but no it does raise some allotted in this interesting points about the oneness the week ok one is of additional protest ok and on who's got the money to state what can and can't work on latino. going into this paypal is looking at receiving upwards of five million dollars in restitution for the crimes of alleged crimes committed by these activists and now they're looking at receiving around eighty k on it so a lot of people were building up the stable no paypal that all the time to go out there

and say no. don't tackle these kids don't open in jail and pierre recently just made a statement this week saying are you in all lighted leniency for it that people fourteen. i was hoping that you know why i plead his case of the spring over a little bit in the attention has spread and most readers know not many people talk about is the irc a weapon is randomly taking so much for filling as an adult i are out feelers to your website are good outcome for the latest on all the presents. when your dear a pro business group known as the american legislative exchange council alec has gathered for one week to discuss domestic business policy. this week has come to dc to meet somebody and was not alone. protesters gather breakouts out ahead. they did let them know that it not

okay with that the day. what would it be that you would operate the wedding breakfast with them. they have not blogged every day the demonstrators demanded that alex tait out of american politics given for transparency alec allow members of the media to attend this year's meeting our team as anzacs was there and brings us an inside look at the conference. dear alex two thousand thirteen states admission policy summit in washington dc where center takers addressed the conference just a moment of the look of course is the american led to sleep exchange council a conservative pro business or decision. the breeze together mostly republican state lawmakers from around the country. the teams them up with representatives from corporations like ducks on mobile. att and pfizer. you can actually tell who's who around here. with that lawmakers were in red badges that state legislative member and corporate representatives wearing blue badges that said private sector member. now alex has often been referred to as a dating service for lawmakers and business suits

together their legislators and corporate representatives are crafted in voting on model legislation that's been done behind closed door meetings little bit later this afternoon. the senators task force's new media is allowed in. there's an education taskforce there's no wind energy task force the tax policy task force is physically organized a similar way that our congress is organized into committees not once legislation is passed out of these task forces to secure it with lawmakers back to their home states for the traffic passing through their respective state legislatures to become actual loss. so basically that's how it works it's this activity that threatens for christians who argue that this organization acts as a shadow government turning a corporatist legislation enforcing elected lawmakers to pledge allegiance to corporate interests rather than their own voters back home the members here say nothing nefarious is going on. i first came down like

over a decade ago. when i was in the bush administration i've been privileged to work with alec. in the federal government i've been privileged to work with alec when i was back in texas the texas policy foundation leading the tenth amendment center. and i'm proud to stand without liked it. i will tell you this my advice to alec is very very simple stand your ground looking at the conservative vendors on hand and what's on the docket includes or task force meetings. you can clearly see an agenda emerging. alec has operated largely in the shadows but the organization did release some of its priorities for this year. they re did the sensible laws are being written in voted on at the summit. although alex still keep secret which corporate interests are being hired writing. each bottle bill. present. there's that this model bill under consideration this week opposing the case ability to regulate greenhouse gases under the clean air act

the proposal was supported by deep deep oil industry. or there's this bill the international relations task force that opposes regulations requiring country of origin labeling on to the grocery stores. a proposal supported by the back. plus there are model bills to weaken sector unions as well as to make the affordable care act or obamacare more difficult to implement. these are all conservative priorities. but passing model bills the cubicle was on the road is only one priority this year for alec. the other is mending fences. as the guardian reported this week. alec is facing any foreigner is in crisis. after hundreds of lawmakers and dozens of corporations left the organization over controversy created by alex supporters to your brow was in voter id laws. it's reported that alec is facing a one point four million dollars budget hole that year it has launched a new initiative known as the prodigal son project to

work corporations and their donations back into the organization. but there is little concern on the faces of members in the halls around here who dined together and play in a later vote together on corporate greed was emboldened by the dysfunction down the street congress alec is taking the responsibility of governing into their own hands. and that is exactly how corporate america wants it. in washington dc the same socks are too. ask the current number one hundred city is put down their snacks allies and picked up picket signs to date. julie protests for better wage its goal the protest is to raise the federal minimum wage to fifteen dollars an hour which would amount to thirty one thousand two hundred dollars for a full time employee before taxes. countdown is just about eight thousand dollars above the federal poverty line for a family of four at the moment right now the minimum wage in the country is seven twenty five an hour in some states

that number is much higher here but so is the average cost of the twenty eight states that the highest minimum wages. they range from eight dollars an hour in california and massachusetts to nineteen nineteen in washington. the photo washington st international airport might be the testing grounds for the future of minimum wage. the city of sea tac is the first in the street sweeper of a fifteen dollar minimum wage for last month voters passed the ballot measure that would do that. airport workers a pay raise of more than double the current federal minimum pay and the ending of this next year. president obama is addressing the minimum wage in his speech yesterday other cities might need to begin to follow suit. you know that there are airport workers and fast food workers and nurse assistants and retail sales people who work their tails off. and i still

living and or billy above poverty. and that's why it's well past the time to raise the minimum wage for the real fight the war was worth it we turn onto rt correspondent marina park nine am. what began one year ago here in new york city with just two hundred employees has exploded into arguably the biggest wave of protests in the history of america's fast food industry thousands of saskatoon. it's high in the one hundred cities throughout the country how to go for a binge on thursday. nancy are based in minimal wheat and the right to due to new heights without it how the teaching of the organization spearheading this movement is called fast and well worth it. workers side that are participating in these strikes are in a way

to hide in each chain restaurants mcdonald's the eighteen twenties and kfc and while the fast food industry remains of two hundred. in the dollar industry. eighteen weeks for the service of words like here's the crew the national median week is just eight dollars and ninety four cents an hour more during the year with many of that fifty plus thousand fast food workers earning than last. just seven dollars and ninety nine cents an hour in the comments below. what is fast and restaurants. tell me the live in poverty forced to rely on assistance of portland food shelters to feed their families many other fast food workers are living in shelters because they are salary can to cover their backs now even worse is that this problem is expanding low wage jobs have been accounted for the fall of the new jobs added in the so called us recovery in retail and fast food are

among the fastest curly not economic sense sectors in the united states right now know what the strikers are demanding is fifteen dollars per hour and so far only one city in washington still has and that those demands. as you can see there is as significant police presence here on the scene on its very high feast day of action so far everything has remained relatively calm now in the meantime companies like mcdonald's her kicking and in twenty ten that comes out saying that a low key positions are just adding stones to better positions but reports reveal that the managerial jobs on make up just two percent of all jobs in the past the industry had five restaurants have also said that the state of minimal but we will increase costs and da forced some workers have a job that i've run the ads you can see

the majority of the semester he even walked all the shop rides a white or off of the six leading weeks of quality of life. that said american jury. mom says to all of its citizens should also mention that this movement has a lot of support might get lots of civil rights groups community leaders even when you're sitting here at lax fields of law seo has voiced his support for reducing the minimum wage as you can see this is that fuel which movements in the united states taking place in day out the extent they're going from location to location and name calling them as they continue walking. reporting from the dark green up when i r t. rapper great scientists and rescue crews are desperately attempting to save the crew of beached whales. the group of pilot whales is stranded off the shoreline of everglades national park in southern florida. at least ten whales have ninety six of natural causes and four of them were euthanized. for more from
